A dvi will be converted to pdf and that in turn is converted to png. That's needed cause ghostview doesn't work with dvi files. > Also, it takes a minute to convert the first thirty pages.

Yeah, since they need a 2-way conversion, dvi files take the longest conversion time. > xdvi takes less time than I can determine. Well, xdvi can display dvi files natively, so there's no need to do a time-consuming conversion before. > Perhaps you can save time by checking whether xdvi exists on the > computer and, if so, use it in Emacs.

The first image will be displayed before doc-view-mode-hook is run. Bye, Tassilo
